in addition, dyestufts which contain the dichloropyrimidyl group and, especially, the trichloropyrimidyl group are preferred.

The new dyestutfs are yellow and orange powder, which, in the form of their alkali metal salts, dissolve very well in water. They are suitable for the dyeing and printing of fibres, in parti-cular those from natural or regenerated cellulose and from natural or `synthetic polyamide fibres, in yellow'to orange-yellow shades. The cellulose material is advantageously impregnated or printed at low temperatures, e.g. of 20-50 C., and the colour is xed by treatment with acid binding agents, e.g. with sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, diand trisodium phosphate or caustic soda lye. The treatment With these agents can be performed at room temper-alture or at a raised temperature. In many cases, the acid binding agents can be added to the impregnating liquors or printing pastes whereupon the dyeing is developed by a short heating at temperatures of over lili) to C. of by la longer storing at room temperature.

The new dyestuifs are chemically bound to the iibre by this treatment with acid binding agents and, after soaping to remove non-fixed dyestutf, the cellulose dyeingS in particular have excellent wet fastness properties.

A particular advantage of the dyestuffs according to the invention is an increased substantivity to cellulose fibres. They are particuarly suitable, therefore, for the dyeing of cellulose from a bath `in which the liquor ratio is greater than u-sual, in particular in the presence of salts to accelerate the drawing power such as Glaubers salt or sodium chloride. Surprisingly, in spite of lthis increased substantivity, uniixed dyestuf is very easily and cornpletely washed out which is an important requirement for the good wet fastness of cellulose dyeing attained with reactive dyestuffs.

The following examples illustrate the invention. Parts are given therein as parts by weight when not otherwise specifically stated. The temperatures are in degrees centigrade. The relationship of parts by volume to parts by weight is as that of cubic centimeters to grammes.

EXAMPLE 1 33.7 parts of 5-(3'-nitrobenzoylaminol-2-aminobenzene- 1-sulphonic acid are dissolved, in the form of the sodium salt, in 400 parts of water, 6.9 parts of sodium nitrite are added and diazotisation is performed at ILO-15 by sprinkling in 3() parts of concentrated hydrochloric acid. This diazonium compound is poured within l hour and while stirring into a neutralised solution of thesodium salt of 33.4 parts of the sodium salt of 33.4 parts of 2,5disul phophenyl-Smethyl-S-pyrazolone to which has been added 25 parts of sodium acetate. The coupling to form the nitrornonoazo dyestutr' is completed in a weakly acid medium (pH 4-5). The ncutralised dyestuif solution is reduced with 11.7 parts of sodium sulphide at 45 for 4-5 hours. The aminomonoazo dyestuff formed is acidified, filtered off, dissolved again as the sodium salt and'.

5 the solution is clarified to remove sulphur. The aminoazo dyestui is diazotised at 5" by the addition of 6.9 parts of sodium nitrite and SO parts of concentrated hydrochloric acid. 10.7 parts of 1amino3methylbenzene are added to the acid diazo suspension or" the monoazo dyestut. The coupling is accelerated by the dropwise addition of a sodium acetate solution until the pH is 4.5. On completion of the coupling, the solution of the amino disazo dyestuf is neutralised'at 60-65 with sodium carbonate. 24 parts of iinely pulverised 2,4,5,6tetrachlorod chloro-3'-nitrobenzoylamino) 2 aminobenzene l sulphonic acid are used and otherwise the procedure described above is followed.

Similar dyestuiis are also obtained if, in the above eX- ample, instead of the 1-amino-3-metliylbenzene or the 2', 5'-disulphophenyl-3-methyl-S-pyrazolone, the corresponding amount of one of the coupling components given in the following table is used and the amino disazo dyestuiis obtained are reacted with one of the acid halides or halogenazines given in the last column of the table.

The dyestut, which is precipitated by acidiication, is' filtered off,Y dissolved again in the form of the sodium salt and the claried solution is further diazotised as described in Example 1 whereupon it is combined with an aqueoussolution of the hydrochloride of 13.7 parts of l-amino-2-methoXy-S-methylbenzcne which has been made acid to Congo paper. The coupling is accelerated by the addition of sodium acetate solution until the pH is 4.5 and the amino disazo dyestui formed is precipitated with sodium chloride. After the dyestul has been filtered off, it is dissolved in i) parts of water with the addition of sodium carbonate and this solution is added dropwise within 1 hour at 40 to an aqueous suspension of 32 parts of 2- (2sulphophenylamino)4,6dichloro-l,3,S-triazine, the reaction always being kept neutral by the dropair-)aree wise addition of sodium carbonate solution.
